"The Town Hall was formally opened, with a flourish of trumpets, on Wednesday 11 October 1876. HR Hughes, Lord-Lieutenant of Flintshire, presided. Tradesmen closed their businesses and the streets were decorated with arches and flags. Spectators watched a procession which included the fire engine and brigade, the police, the lifeboat (drawn by six horses) and its crew, coastguards, magistrates and four musical bands. It paraded along nearly every street in the town, in spite of squally showers. In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the Town Hall for about 250 guests.
The hall was designed by John Turner of Barrow-in-Furness, and the builder was J Rhydwen Jones of Rhyl. The exterior walls are faced with Penmaenmawr stone and dressed with stone from Cefn, near Wrexham."
